The Canalta Dual Chamber Orifice Fitting is a high quality, high

accuracy orifice fitting manufactured in a wide selection of sizes and materials. Proven measurement
principles and field repairability make the Dual Chamber Orifice Fitting a reliable, cost-effective solution to
your flow measurement needs. These units are built to meet or exceed ASME and ANSI specifications, as
well as to comply with the requirements of the latest editions of AGA-3 / API-14.3 and ISO-5167. Available
in Flangeneck, Flange x Flange and Weldneck configurations.
Delivering superior
No matter the application, your process will benefit from Canalta’s proven reliability and you can improve orifice fittings and
your bottom line without sacrificing quality, service or performance. exceptional value has With orifice plate in flow line

been our core business

for over fifteen years.
Our comprehensive Quality Management System includes
full function, hydrostatic and pneumatic pressure testing to prevent
imperfect fittings from reaching service. Standard testing comes
at no extra charge and includes verifiable pressurization to 150% of
working pressure. Additional inspections, such as radiography, ultra
sonic and liquid dye penetration - are also available.
With orifice plate out of flow line
Our unit-specific Documentation packages include hydrostatic,
seal and function test results as well as material test reports. An Each unit features Fully Accessible, Field Adjustable Eccentricity

Third party inspection and reporting is available upon request.

Canalta applies a standard coating to all Dual Chamber Orifice
Fittings that includes a non-lift red oxide primer and fast-drying
enamel finish in Canalta Grey and burgundy top. Custom
coatings for special environments - including maritime, humid,
high temperature and others - custom colours and primer only
applications are also available.
HNBR O-ring Seals on both the body and seal bar come
standard with all Canalta Dual Chamber Orifice Fittings. This
feature eliminates nuisance gasket maintenance and clamping
bar screw breakage, while providing superior sealing capability.
The O-rings incorporated are standard shelf sizes and can be
supplied in a wide variety of compositions. Gaskets are also
available and can be used when preferred or required.

Parts matter, whatever your service environment.

Our standard zinc-plated 4130 carbon steel internals offer
superior corrosion protection and resistance to sulfide
or hydrogen induced cracking, providing reliability and
performance over a long service life. These parts conform
to NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156:2003 specifications
For extreme corrosive applications, such as wet H2S service,
316 stainless steel internals are available to protect against
general and localized corrosion.
The Soft Seat Valve Seal is available for all dual chamber
models. Particularly suited to low pressure applications, this
unique design enables a bubble-tight seal between the upper
and lower chambers without the need for frequent lubrication.
The specially machined seal channel helps prevent O-ring
dislocation, and the O-ring seals incorporated are available in a
wide variety of compositions.

ORIFICE PLATE SEAL OPTIONS & CARRIER ASSEMBLIES

Type “K” Standard 2000 Edition Seal Assembly HNBR
SEAL RING
ORIFICE PLATE STAINLESS STEEL
RETAINING RING

This is the standard seal assembly supplied with all orifice fittings from sizes 2”
through 8”. This unit is used with a .562” seal gap for fittings sizes 2” through 6”, and
with a .688” seal gap for 8” fittings. The single downstream seal function offers
superior sealing capability while reducing seal damage during insertion. Plate
FLOW
seal bypass tested down to 1” water column.
The seal assembly is comprised of an elastomer seal and one stainless
steel retainer ring. Exacting and repeatable concentricity is main-
tained with the metal to metal contact throughout the entire 360°
circumference of the orifice plate to the plate carrier mechanism. BEVEL

Teflon Snap Seal TEFLON TEFLON

SNAP RING ORIFICE PLATE SNAP RING

The Teflon Snap Seal provides positive plate sealing in the harshest of process
environments. The two-piece design snaps over the orifice plate without
the use of metal clips or retainers. A specially designed recess absorbs the
insertion pressures, minimizing permanent compression and distortion. FLOW
The raised section adjacent to the recess creates a positive seal against the
orifice plate, preventing bypass leakage. These two unique design features
enhance seal performance while extending the life expectancy
of the seal assembly. BEVEL

Bonded Seal
This is the standard seal supplied with all Canalta Orifice Fitting
model sizes 10" and larger. Designed with a unique "hollow
core" recess, this seal has impressive expansion and contraction
capabilities when compared to traditional solid rubber seals. FLOW
The recess allows the seal to absorb insertion pressures, mini-
mizing tearing, distortion and permanent compression. The 70
Duro HNBR seal is adhesively bonded to the orifice plate, creat-
ing total and permanent contact between the plate and seal
and preventing bypass leakage. BEVEL

Legacy Replacement Seals

Canalta supplies a selection of legacy plate seals for
situations in which direct and exact seal replacement
is required or preferred. Models include two piece
clip-style Teflon, solid core HNBR or Nitrile and the
stainless steel dual ring assemblies.

We will also work with you to custom design and

manufacture purpose-built seals for your unique or
special applications.

Greasing Procedures
1. Ensure the slide valve (5) and equalizer valve (1) are in the closed position.
2. Open the bleeder valve (10B) and allow the top chamber to depressurize.
3. Remove the threaded stem (23A) from the grease gun assembly (23). Insert one stick of grease.
4. Replace the stem and turn in slowly so as not to rupture the inner
body seals. A half stick of grease should suffice to lubricate the
valve.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
The Canalta Dual Chamber Orifice Fitting has a number of moving
parts that benefit from a regular preventive maintenance program.
The following procedures are recommended:
1. Remove and inspect the orifice plate and seal monthly. Replace as required.
2. Grease the slide valve as per operating instructions (see above), or monthly.
3. Disassemble the orifice fitting every two years or earlier if deemed necessary. Inspect the inner working
parts for corrosion and wear. Replace the working parts as required and replace all seals prior to reassembly.

WARNING: PRESSURIZED UNIT.

Ensure all operating staff are trained in the safe operation of this an all other pressurized equipment.
